How Does It Work?
Experience the precision of laser gum disease treatment with the LANAP protocol at Catalina Dental in Redondo Beach. The PerioLase MVP-7 laser's unique wavelength targets diseased tissue while leaving healthy tissue unharmed.

At Catalina Dental in Redondo Beach, we utilize the advanced PerioLase MVP-7 laser for LANAP, a minimally invasive gum disease treatment. This laser's specific wavelength and variable pulse durations allow for precise tissue interaction, targeting bacteria and promoting healing without the need for cutting or sutures.The LANAP protocol for periodontitis
- 1. Perio probe indicates excessive pocket depth
- 2. Laser radiation vaporizes bacteria, diseased tissue, pathologic proteins, and alerts the practitioner to the presence of tartar
- 3. Ultrasonic scaler and special hand instruments are used to remove root surface accretions
- 4. Bone is modified at time of surgery
- 5. Laser is used to form a gel-clot containing stem cells from bone and PDL
- 6. Reattachment of reté ridges to clean root surface, with a stable fibrin clot at the gingival crest to create a ‘closed system’
- 7. Occlusal trauma adjusted
- 8. New attachment is regenerated
